Du’a: How a Muslim Talks to Allah: The New Muslim Companion
By Ali Imam
Learn how to speak to Allah with clarity, confidence, and hope. Du'a: How a Muslim Talks to Allah is a plain-English Islamic guide for new Muslims, returning Muslims, and anyone who wants to understand supplication beyond memorized phrases. Ali Imam explains what du'a is, how it differs from dhikr and salah, and how to make du'a with the prophetic structure of praise, salawat, request, and closing. With short chapters, practical examples, and mainstream Sunni guidance, this book walks through the etiquette of du'a, the best times and places to ask, what to do when an answer seems delayed, how to pray istikharah, how to make du'a for the dead, and how to speak to Allah when words will not come. Includes a curated section of Forty Du'as for Memorisation, a glossary, and further reading for continued study. A calm, serious, beginner-friendly guide to the conversation every Muslim is invited to begin.
